Hi, I'm Anjali. Though I wish to cater to all kinds of palates, you’ll mainly find the Indian cuisine here, especially Malabari (North Kerala) style, as that’s where my roots, trunk and branches are.

Author's Notes

If you have a grill or tandoor you can grill the chicken and make the curry.

I have used chicken with bones, but if you wish to you can use boneless chicken.

Adding onion to the gravy is optional. You can completely avoid it and follow the rest of the recipe.
